1. Lord Nitai is the
fallen soul's only friend. After may past pious deeds a soul, by destiny, will
meet Lord Nityananda. In the midst of poverty he finds an ocean of jewels.

2. Glancing in the four
directions, Lord Nitai calls out, "Gaura Raya!", and falls
unconscious to the ground. The Lord's companions surround Him. Lord Nitai
embraces them. Gazing at them, the Lord sprinkles them with tears flowing from
the moon of His face.

3. From the khanjana
birds of His reddish eyes flow streams of tears of spiritual love, streams of
tears like a celestial Ganga flowing from golden Mount Sumeru. In a voice like
a thundering cloud, again and again He calls for His brothers,the devotees. The
weight of His footsteps makes the earth tremble.

4. To the fallen souls
merciful Lord Nitai gave the gift of ecstatic spiritual love, a gift the
demigod Brahma did not know even existed. By His own kindness Lord Nitai
plunged the three worlds in the flooding nectar of that love. Everyone was
plunged. Only Vasudeva Ghosha was not. Only he was cheated of that nectar.

Song 3

1. With My friends
before and behind, I went to the Yamuna's waters. My veil covered My body so much
I could not see very much with My eyes.

2. (Refrain) Why do I
even now see the form I saw under a kadamba tree. I do not understand what I
feel in My heart. Without stop My heart smolders.

3. Why is My heart so
restless? I cannot calm it. My heart will not become calm. O gopi-friend, three
times I fainted. When I became conscious, My heart wept.

4. Slowly, slowly I
move My feet. I fear My elders. Vamshi-vaadana says: Please listen, O beautiful
Radha. Is there another calamity that can fall upon You now?

Song 4

1. I was accompanied by
my gopi-friends. I was painfully shy. I would not even glance at Him.

2. If I hear about Him,
my heart becomes wild. If I see Him, I am overcome. My eyes then gaze at Him as
a cakora bird gazes at the rising moon.

3. Somehow I met Him,
the best of men. Still my desire remains unfulfilled. Why is destiny always at
my right? Why is destiny always at my left?

Song 5

1. My gopi-friends were
at my left. I tried not to look at Him with my right eye. Somehow I saw Him
from the corner of my eye. Then I became wild.

2. (Refrain) O
Kamadeva, what more will you do to me? You offend my eyes and torment my heart.
Have you no intelligence?

3. How many times does
He come and go on the pathways? Who does not see Krishna? O Kamadeva, why must
you again and again wound my heart with your flower-arrows?

Song 6

1. (Refrain) O gopi-friend, will You tell me
of Your good fortune? From His face, eyes, and heart it is clear that Your
beloved loves You alone.

2. How many are the
beautiful girls filled with all virtues? How many crooked glances do these cast
at Him? Still, when He comes, He does not notice any of them, for He is tossed
by waves of nectar love for You.

3. He thinks and thinks
of Your virtues. Sitting in a forest grove, He burns in the flames of
separation from You. For Him You are an ocean filled with waves of love, You
are delightful like sweet nectar. Hurry. Go to Your beloved's side.

4. Don't pay any
attention to jewel ornaments. All ornaments are unimportant. They sit in the
shade of Your glorious beauty. Leave everything behind and run to a nectar
meeting with Your beloved. Hari-vallabha sings this song of praise.

Song 7

1. Radha is decorated
with flowers. She is the jewel of all beautiful girls. She is the beautiful,
beautiful daughter of King Vrsabhanu. Her garments are red, and Her teeth like
glistening jewels. She is like a stationary lightning flash walking on the
earth.

2. Her face is like the
moon. Her words are drops of nectar. Her eyes are like the eyes of the doe. She
stays with friends who are like Her own life's breath. The soles of Her feet
are reddish. Her jewel anklets jangle. Her motions are charming. Govinda dasa
speaks these words.

Song 8

1. You entered the
pastime-cottage. There You saw Krishna, Your dark master.

2. His face was
handsome and His gentle smile sweet. Was He like a moon rising above a lotus
flower?

3. His eyes brimmed
with tears of joy. He tasted the nectar of love. Was He like a cakora bird
gazing at You?

4. The hairs of His
body stood erect. He fell unconscious. It was as if He was plunged in an ocean
of nectar.

5. How many signs of
ecstasy did He show? One of Your gopi-friends extended her hand to pick Him up.
